Anybody Black or melenated still watching ESPN after this is a 
ESPN NBA Countdown host Rachel Nichols caught being white & racist.......
- Thread starter World B Free
- Start date
Them coons carrying her water.......
She never caped for Paul Pierce; she never mentioned his name once he was gone.
Lets put it in perspective. These are per year salaries.
Stephen A. Smith 8m
Skip Bayless 8m
Collin Cowherd 6m
Michael Wilbon 6m
Kenny Smith 4m
Shannon Sharpe 3m
Jalen Rose 3m
Rachel Nichols 1.5m
Maria Taylor 1m
Carri Champion 1m
Michelle Beadle 5m(back when she hosted Get Up) Many felt she wasn't worth that much back then.
I cant see any network paying her Cowherd, Bayless, or SAS type money. The economics of it just don't add up. Especially considering she doesn't have the draw of most of the people listed.

I have been staying away from these "celebrity" boxing matches, but I think I might tune into Kwame vs. Stacks fight.

ESPN NBA sideline reporter and “The Jump” host Rachel Nichols issued a brief apology for comments she made about diversity and her colleague Maria Taylor to kick off “The Jump” on Monday afternoon.
A bombshell report from The New York Times on Sunday detailed the alleged heavy internal strife at the network over comments Nichols made in 2020 while Nichols and Taylor were both being considered to host coverage for the NBA Finals.
“The first thing they teach you in journalism school is don’t be the story, and I don’t plan to break that rule today or distract from a fantastic Finals,” Nichols said Monday. “But I also don’t want to let this moment pass without saying how much I respect, how much I value our colleagues here at ESPN, how deeply, deeply sorry I am for disappointing those I hurt, particularly Maria Taylor, and how grateful I am to be part of this outstanding team.”
Nichols then turned it over to her co-hosts on “The Jump.”

NYT report details Rachel Nichols’ comments about Maria Taylor
A report from The New York Times on Sunday detailed the internal strife at ESPN over comments Nichols made about Taylor last year.
Per The Times, Nichols was told by ESPN that Taylor, who is Black, was going to host the network’s coverage of the NBA Finals instead of her. Nichols was speaking with a longtime adviser of LeBron James, Adam Mendelsohn, on a call that was accidentally recorded and then later leaked.
During that call, Nichols can be heard saying that she thinks Taylor was only being promoted because of ESPN’s bad record on diversity.
That recording was accessible to numerous ESPN employees, one of whom eventually leaked it. That employee is the only one to have been disciplined over the incident so far, something that remains an “active source of pain” among other employees.
Nichols said initially that she was “shaken” that a “fellow employee” would record and share her private conversation. Nichols told the New York Times that she was just “unloading to a friend about ESPN’s process, not about Maria."

Nichols said she reached out to Taylor multiple times to apologize, but Taylor “has chosen not to respond.” Nichols’ comments also upset plenty of her coworkers on “The Jump” and among those involved in NBA coverage, including Jalen Rose, Adrian Wojnarowski and Jay Williams.
After those comments were leaked, Taylor initially declined to host “NBA Countdown” during the Finals before changing her mind on the condition that Nichols not be on the show. ESPN agreed, but then ignored that and included prerecorded segments with Nichols that looked live.
More segments continued to be prerecorded, and ESPN threatened to prerecord every segment — which resulted in a blowup on a preshow call between commentators, including Taylor.
From The New York Times:
Despite being one of the top reporters at the network, Taylor’s contract is set to expire this month during the Finals, and “few substantive steps have been taken toward a new deal,” per the report.
They saying a Giannis free throw takes longer than Rachel's apology was. 
So wait, her show is called The Trump?
Or am I just misreading that?

It's what the show producers instructed them to do. They are employees on the clock. People will pass the buck to athletes and co analysts so they don't have to feel guilty about continuing to watch ESPN. I seen a dude say all athletes should refuse interviews with her, pfffft. How bout you stop watching ESPN network as a fan til she's fired?
Was wondering what the context was here when I saw it live & wondered why Woj was dead silent….It all makes sense now….
Dude was probably high as shit
That's why when people say women can't talk sports I
I hear the dumbest shit from men, and often ones who played it
And it will be about as genuine as a $7 bill.
All of them have been on that sexism is worse than racism/Black men support the patriarchy bullshit over the past few years.
Remember, Black women and Latinas alone voted out Trump despite more Black men voting for Biden than Latinas.
Just saying....
Woj was probably caught off guard and was probably laughing to himself
Don't forget ESPN suspended him for this petty shit
Bomani is male feminist who only cares about talking about vaccinations and trying to make himself seem more interesting than he really is…that nigga ain’t gonna rock no boat 4real
Are people shocked about this,I remember ESPN had a rule that employees couldn't make fun or throw their colleagues under the bus publicly after Kornheiser made fun of Hannah Storm. Fast forward,the Ray Rice incident where Michelle Beadle went on twitter throwing Coon Smith unnder the bus. He deserved it not because he said anything wrong but he thought he was untouchable from his white collegeaues there. He was suspended for two weeks while Michelle Beadle was allowed to be TV with no issues even though she broke company rules...ESPN made Coon Smith apologized in a tape recording before the show started. That shit was horrible to watch because he looked like a kid apologizing to a parent....
